University of Notre Dame

English

Description:

This course will explore novel combinations of image and text in various genres and from various periods and parts of the world. The purpose of this wide-ranging analysis will be to fuel creative projects of our own. Potential genres under study will include poster art, collage, photo-essays, performance notation, cartography, hypertext, illumination, artist's books, and, of course, the graphic novel. Course work will include brief homework responses, creative projects exploring the genres and media under study, presentations on works from the University Special Collections and on-line archives, and a final project requiring you to draw on course examples to develop a hybrid format of your own.
